    Hi Bob, I have missed so much lately. Great work
  2. donrobinson
    Hi B.E., so often in this hobby construction is followed by de-construction followed by re-construction and again you have mastered it. Thanks for taking the time and effort for doing so

    That planking looks great Ian. Your technique, whether it is historically correct or not, has turned out a beautifully planked hull and that is what we are striving for and what you have accomplished. I have seen pictures of a Trabakul being restored and it had strakes that did not go completely from bow to stern but stopped well short of either end. I suppose at 35mm wide = almost 4 ft in real life would they have had access to planks this wide and could they actually handle something this large and heavy. I do not have the answers, however, I do know I like the looks of yours

    hey Ken, Thanks for stopping in. I use the Sherline lathe, and in this case just rasps, files and sandpaper to do the shaping

    Great start Pierre, looking forward to seeing more

    Thanks Mike. How is your new shop coming?
  11. donrobinson
    Thanks Zoltan, I will keep you in mind when it comes time to open these

    Hi Mike, Thanks for stooping in. The poles are walnut with just wop applied
  13. donrobinson
    Thanks Ian, the crew was very happy to see them all come on board(6 large and 6 small), so I'm guessing it is something more than olive oil inside them

    Good Morning All, Thanks to all who have visited, for the likes and the gracious comments. Much appreciated. Not a heck of a lot going on but having fun doing it, just a few pictures showing what';s going on: The windless with it's poles(is there a proper name for these?) The next few pictures are showing the process I used to make some demizanas This one is showing the tools I used This is showing what I have been mainly busy at this week, making shooter glasses. Normally I wouldn't show this but being we are drinking rum out of these so I thought it was a little nautical. It is a 60th birthday party with a Jamaican theme, hence the colors and Appeltons rum. Here is the final demizanas, the small one still needs some refinement. They are about 30 and 10 mm tall. And to end with, I have the port side deck rail installed and the top timbers re-installed. Now onto the starboard side Thanks again for stopping in and have a Good One

    I wish you well in your new interests, but I hope you still come back once in awhile with some updates on the Revenge, as she is worthy of completion even if it means a couple of years or more. Take Care

    Are you back in the shipyard John? Good to hear from you again
  17. donrobinson
    What kind of wood is in the kit, John? A picture wood be awesome.
  18. donrobinson
    Looks very nice, congratulations
  19. donrobinson
    Model Expo has an offer to buy kits on now, you could check them out if no luck here. Not too sure what kind of prices they are offering
  20. donrobinson
    Enjoy yourself here, looking forward to seeing more of your build
  21. donrobinson
    Very interesting build. I don't know anything about the history but I do know it looks cool and that's what counts, to me at least .
  22. donrobinson
    Fine work Martin, the swivel supports and drift rail are very nice additions to an already superb ship. I really must try and get some boxwood sometime as it sure takes to shaping and holding an edge.
  23. donrobinson
    Nice job on the ratlines E.J.
  24. donrobinson
    Nice work Pierre, the rails are looking spot on
  25. donrobinson
    Very sweet job Mike, well done!!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
